Celebrities React To #LochteGate

What a day to be Ryan Lochte.

Mixed reports regarding Lochte’s claims that he was robbed
at gunpoint in Brazil have surfaced, including an Associated Press report on Thursday stating a police
official with direct knowledge of the
investigation alleges that the gold
medalist fabricated his story.  NBC’s Matt Lauer reported
Wednesday night that he spoke with the swimmer via phone, and although Lochte
admitted some details of his account had changed, he told Lauer, “we wouldn’t
make this story up… We’re
victims in this and we’re happy that we’re safe.”

Celebrities have taken to social media to react to the
situation, offering commentary ranging from amused to outraged.

Confession: I robbed Ryan Lochte. I used my Lackawanna County Sheriff's badge a squirt gun & a bad Brazilian accent. Sorry.

I'm sorry if the gas station memes just aren't quite as funny as they were before seeing a boy pulled out of airstrike rubble
